【解析】
本文介绍了生活在非洲的mhangeni的村民。他们面临着一个巨大的挑战，他们没有为孩子们提供学校。村长说可以把一座废弃的旧农舍用作教室。所有村民都很满意，立即开始了这项工程。由于雨季的到来，村民们不得不停下来去种植。孩子们决定自己接着修建教室。这个消息不胫而走。两位教师前来帮助。两位外国游客也被孩子们的行为所感动。经过10天的努力，新学校已经准备好了。但是他们还面临许多困难：没有足够的教室容纳所有的学生。两到三个学生不得不共用一本书。虽然这样，但是孩子们还是很高兴的，因为他们在自己修建的学校里读书。
21．句意：这时村长想到了一个主意。根据He said that there was an ld, abandned (废弃的)farmhuse. It culd be changed int classrms after cleaning and furnishing(装设备)it. 他说有一座废弃的旧农舍。它可以在打扫清洁和装饰后用作教室。可知，这是村长所想到的一个主意，再结合首字母提示可知，填：idea。因为前面有不定冠词an，因此idea用单数。故答案为idea。
22．句意：所有村民都对他的建议很满意，立即开始了这项工程。根据started the prject immediately. 立即开始了这项工程。说明村民们对于村长的提议很满意，再结合首字母提示可知，填：pleased。be pleased with：对……感到满意。所以答案为：pleased。

24．句意：他们不得不停止为学校工作，因为现在是他们种植的最佳时机。根据But the rains were cming. 和as it was nw the best time fr them t plant.可知，由于雨季的到来，这是人们种植的最好时节，因此应该是停止建学校。再结合首字母提示可知，填：stp。had t是情态动词，后跟动词原形。故答案为stp。
25．句意：于是，mhangeni的孩子们决定自己建成这座房子。d sth. by neself，neself用在动词后面，可以强调主语，表示“某人自己”，和by neself是一个意思，即表示“靠某人自己”的意思。因此本题应该填反身代词，再结合首字母提示和主语the children f Mhangeni可知，填：they 的反身代词themselves。故答案为themselves。
26．句意：关于这个项目的消息传开了，很多人都知道。根据many peple knew it. 很多人都知道。可知，这个消息是传开了的。再结合首字母提示可知，填：spread。由and后面的句子and many peple knew it.可知，该句话的时态为一般过去时，因此and 前面的句子也要用一般过去时。spread的过去式为spread。所以答案为：spread。

28．句意：经过10天的努力，新学校已经准备好了。根据After 10 days f hard wrk, 经过10天的努力。可知，新学校应该是准备好了。再结合首字母提示可知，填：ready。be ready：准备就绪。所以答案为：ready。
29．句意：除此之外，他们还面临许多困难。根据There were nt enugh classrms t hld all the students. And tw r three students had t share ne bk. 没有足够的教室容纳所有的学生。两到三个学生不得不共用一本书。可知，这些都是他们所面临的困难。再结合首字母提示可知，填：difficulty。many后面跟可数名词的复数，difficulty的复数为difficulties。所以答案为：difficulties。
30．句意：然而，孩子们很乐意在学校学习，尤其是在他们帮助建立的新学校里。由语境和首字母提示可知，填：especially。especially表示陈述某一事实之后，列举一个具有代表性的例子，作进一步强调，其后可接名词、介词短语、从句等。本题就是为了进一步强调，强调孩子们很乐意在学校里学习。因此填：especially。

英语首字母填空技巧
1. 通读短文知大意，看整体全面了解来源：
与阅读理解题和其它类型的完形填空一样，首先要通读短文，了解文章的大意。每篇短文段落之间必然承上启下、前呼后应。因此通读全文时要一气呵成，只要能了解短文的大意即可，细节不理解可以跳过。因此，在解题之前通读一遍短文，目的是对文章有个全面的了解，弄清其中心思想和大意。
2. 复读短文抓信息，前后照应巧猜词
在了解文章大意的前提之下再次通读短文，目的是对短文有更进一步的了解。在阅读时要特别注意一篇文章的开头（一般不设空）和结尾，它们能提供主要的信息，帮助了解全文所描述的事件或文章的中心思想。在阅读过程中，要注意上、下文的关系，这对于把握文章的整体意义大有用处。另外，要学会跳读，即对不理解的地方采用暂时回避的方式，待真正理解全文之后再找解决的方法。有些短文填空题，有时出现约 3%~5% 的生词是很正常的，这就要求学生根据构词知识或上、下文的意思加以猜测，来确定它的词义。
3. 反复推敲多分析，慎重答题讲合理
再次通读短文，对留空的句子进行全面的分析，看它在全文中所处的位置、作用和意义。这一遍阅读要求是精心阅读，要留心找出关键词、短语或句子，还要结合所给首字母的提示，进行填写，并注意单词的正确形式。例如：第3小题，句意：一些村民用木头把房子分成三个教室。根据Sme villagers d 3 the huse int three classrms by using pieces f wd. 一些村民用木头把房子_______ 三个教室。可知，应该是把房子分成三个教室，再结合首字母提示可知，填：divide。本文叙述过去发生的事情，因此用一般过去时，divide的过去式为divided。所以答案为：divided。
4. 认真复查全文，把握整体和词形来源：
做完以后，再认真读一遍，检查所填写的单词是否与文章要求相符，文章是否通顺，前后是否呼应，有无句型结构及语法错误。

41．句意：这只是另一种方式说回家很好！
根据句意理解及前句Have yu ever heard the saying, “Hme, sweet hme”?可知，这里表达的是“回家真好”，空格表示的是“好的”，在句中作表语，所以用形容词nice，故答案为nice。
42．句意：也许你喜欢和爸爸妈妈呆在一起。
根据句意理解及前句Maybe yu like t play with yur brthers and sisters.可知，这里表达的是“喜欢”，英语是enjy，前句用的是一般现在时，所以这里也用一般现在时，主语是第二人称，所以动词用原形，故答案为enjy。

44．句意：这是你在上面睡的舒适的床吗？
根据句意理解及空格后that yu sleep n可知，这里说的是“床”，英语是bed，而这里指的是“你睡觉的床”，所以应该用单数形式，故答案为bed。
45．句意：也许你喜欢有一个安静的地方看书或思考你的一天。
根据句意理解及后句t read a bk r t think abut yur day可知，这里表达的是“安静的”，英语是quiet，在句中修饰的是空格后面的名词place，故答案为quiet。
46．句意：现在是分享你一天中有趣故事的时候了。
根据句意理解及空格前的share interesting以及空格后的abut yur day可知，这里指的是“故事”，英语是stry，是一个可数名词，所以这里应该用复数形式，表示很多有趣的故事，故答案为stries。
47．句意：你家里的家务活是谁干的，比如打扫卫生、做饭和庭院劳动？
根据句意理解及空格后面的cleaning, cking, and yardwrk可知，空格后面是举例家务，所以这里表达的是“像，比如”，英语是介词like，故答案为like。
48．句意：当一家人一起做家务时……
根据句意理解及后句it makes them easier and mre fun fr everyne.可知，这里表达的是“一起工作”，英语是wrk tgether，所以空格缺的是“一起”，故答案为tgether。
49．句意：也许你可以帮忙摆好餐桌或者清洁一下。
根据句意理解及后句lay the dinner table r clear the places可知，这里表达的是“帮助”，英语是help，而空格前有情态动词can，所以这里应该用动词原形，故答案为help。
50．句意：想想你能做些什么，这样当你每天回家时，你可以说，“家，温馨的家！”
根据句意理解可知，这里是一个含有时间状语从句的复合句，所以空格缺的是时间状语从句的连词，表示的是“当……时”，所以空格应该用when来引导，故答案为when。
